"God is light, and in him there is no darkness whatsoever," said the apostle John. Why, then, do Christians participate annually in a day that celebrates darkness? The Scripture tells us not to imitate what is evil, so it's time to repent if you or your family have been acting like Halloween is harmless. Instead of glorifying fear, unclean spirits, and arcane arts tonight, politely protest the "holiday" by posting a copy of the anti-Halloween sign that I created.

Sure, you could just turn off your lights and pretend to not be home, but isn't it better to take advantage of the opportunity to be a witness? You may have an audience tonight that you would never have access to otherwise. Be a light on a hill.

Print and Hang

I'm unabashedly mimicking 119 MInistries, which gave me the idea for an anti-Halloween sign. I wanted slightly different wording and verses than they had on their version, so I decided to make my own. I hope that it will be useful to you as well.

One thing that has recently struck me as a telling indicator is that non-Christians in my country have been pushing to take Christ out of Christmas, but those same people seem to have no problem with the religious underpinnings of Halloween. Why is an Occult-centric holiday okay by them, but a Christian-centric holiday isn't? Hmmm.

Death and the grave are our enemies, and Elohiym has promised to destroy them at the end of the Messianic age (Rev. 20;14). And anything related to witchcraft, sorcery, divining, and speaking with the dead will be done away with and never heard of again (Deut. 18:9-13). We simply have no reason to celebrate any of these things at any time.

If you want to have a costume party and eat candy, go ahead, but I recommend picking another day to do it, because we are instructed to abstain from even the appearance of evil (1 Thess. 5:22).

8 Keys to Personal Moral Excellence While LIving in Spiritual Egypt

"Y'shua told him, 'Whoever has already bathed needs only to wash his feet, and he will be completely clean'" (John 13:10).

Those who have repented and been baptized into Messiah's name have been made spiritually clean. Yet, as with the disciples' feet that Y'shua washed, the part of ourselves that contacts the earth—our fleshly or material man—must be subjected to the spirit and purified. This life-changing eBook, provided at no cost, aims to help believers live beyond reproach in a morally bankrupt world.
